My Heartfelt Thanks to You!

(Warning! This is a long post full of amazing cards!)

What can be more touching than this? I got an unexpected flower delivery today. It turn out this beautiful bouquet of flowers are from my Hero Arts Hostess sistas! All of us live all over the place from Ontario, Michigan, Indiana, Alabama... to UK! I was simply speechless. A tear (ok, just a tear) rolled down my cheek after this beautiful sight! Thank you, Judy J., Deborah N., Lin B., Cathy A., Sarah M., Lucy A., Tiffany E, Kathy R. and last but not least, Karen P. I wish I could give you all a BIG BIG hug! I thank you for thinking of me during this time.

After saying my final good-bye to my Dad from my trip to Taiwan, I found myself with many beautiful and thoughtful cards pouring into my mailbox. These cards from friends, particularly from the Hero Arts Flickr Group, have graced my shelves. They brought me so much comfort. I've decided to share their cards with you and thank them for being such dear friends! It makes me smile as Judy Jung BOUGHT a pop-up card...I think she really wants to comfort me in a very special way :)

WOW VIRGINIA! Your cards from the caring Hero family are just BEAUTIFUL and I can see their "hearts" in each one! Thank you so much for sharing them, Virginia. I also can just SEE you with your "tears" rolling down your cheeks, Virginia. You have such a soft and caring heart and are touched by anyone thinking about you. It's a virtue to be that way, Virginia. I hope that each day finds the pain lessening with the passing of your Dad. I know that he was so proud of the Daughter that you are and wouldn't be surprised at all of the friends that you have attracted through card making. God Bless You, Sweet Virginia.Love, Karen xoxoxo

What a lovely gift from your fellow hostesses. So nice of them to send you such a beautiful bouquet. I'm glad the cards have brought you some comfort, Virginia. I still think of you so often and hope that the memories of your dad are slowly taking the place of the sorrow. Big hugs, ten times over!

Thanks for steering me to this post! :) Such beautiful flowers and cards... a testament to what a special person you are and how much you're loved! Still thinking of you and praying for the comfort of Christ in those moments you most need it. Love ya!
